My name is Lorraine and I am a wife, mother of three and grandmother of five. I am a lover of family and friends, tea parties, coffee dates, fabric, books, nature, God and all things vintage.

I am given to hospitality and host a monthly women’s group called Bloom. I believe one of my gifts is encouraging others. I hope this blog does just that.
